If you want to pay someone to do it, then $325-350 is about right. to do it RIGHT, you are looking at around 3-4 hours of labor. That is IF they are servicing the calipers and flushing the fluids at the same time.

But, I have to agree with the others, there is a certain amount of satisfaction that comes along with doing a job like that yourself that even outweighs the savings. Nothing like knowing that it is done right and that you were the one that did it. ESPECIALLY in the cold...lol

You may want to check around. In many places there are garages that will rent space by the hour for you to do work yourself. If you don't have a level place to work though, definitely don't try it at home. There is also a certain bit of embarrassment that goes along with having it fall from the jack stands and having to call a wrecker to come pick it up for you.

Been there.....damn jack bent in half......true. well sounds like my mechanic will do it then. I trust him alot, hes always been honest and took real good care of me, even giving me free stuff and cutting labor so its the least i could do.

The Russell kits come with right front, left front, rear center, left rear and right rear lines.

rear center? all those lines for 150 bucks?


and if you dont have a garage....just pay someone to do it for you.

Yeah, that's my fault, I went to their website to confirm that the kit came with all four corners and without thinking about the fact that there isn't a soft rear center line I put what there site said, sorry about that. But yes, the kits come with the lines for all four corners.

Please forgive the brain fart on that one, sometimes multitasking works against me....lol :doh2:
